From May 20-31, Insider's college football experts will be examining the national championship chances of the 10 teams with the best odds to win the BCS title this season, according to Brian Fremeau's post-spring projections. Today, KC Joyner takes a look at the path the Clemson Tigers could take to the national championship game, and the factors that could trip them up along the way.

Joyner writes that, "while their national championship chances aren't as strong as the rest of the teams we'll be profiling in the next two weeks, a zero- or one-loss season would absolutely put them in the title discussion."

Don't look now, but based on the ink they've already gotten this preseason, the Tigers are already in the conversation.
